huge fans for use while idling on the sand,
but here the rule is reversed and the belle
who has a pair Of arms the color of vanished
cherry and healthy country color ON her
face is as proud Of the requirement as she
would be at home in the winter, of skin like
the leaves of a white lily. The Young men
carry the local fashion to such an extreme
that you will see some with arms and legs
the hue of mahogany, and others with their
backs raw and blistered a stage that has to
be endured in acquiring the true piano dye.
